Emma Elizabeth Thompson (born 2 December 1990) is an Australian cricketer who plays as a right-handed batter and occasional right-arm medium bowler for Tasmanian Tigers in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) and Hobart Hurricanes in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).[1][2][3] Originally from Sydney, Thompson played for several years in the New South Wales U17 and U19 squads.[4] She then sought further opportunities in Tasmania, where she became a key player for Tasmania.[5]
Thompson was included in the Hurricanes squad for its inaugural WBBL|01 season (2015–16),[6] and was again selected for the WBBL|02 season (2016–17).[7] She is not one of the big guns in the WBBL, and sometimes plays essentially as a specialist fielder, a role she accepts without rancour.[8] In November 2018, she was named in the Hobart Hurricanes' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[9][10]
Off the field, Thompson works as a physiotherapist.[4]
